Happy Birthday Mom and Dad! My mother turned 75 over the Labor Day weekend and my dad will be turning 75 within the year, so my siblings and I threw a surprise party for them! I don't usually share personal info on this blog, but I wanted to put in a plug and thank a couple businesses that helped to make this occassion so very pepperberry!


A big THANK YOU to JOSEPH"S MARKETPLACE for getting me the most beautiful lemons for my centerpieces. This is a family owned, very "boutique-y" grocery store. Their hot foods department is to die for (fair warning: get there early. It's all homemade and it goes quickly!), and they bring in bread from Breadworks in Pittsburgh daily. They also carry their own sauce with meatballs in the frozen foods that is so yummy. I'll never make my own sauce again! The produce and meats are fresh and the selection is just enough. It's my kind of grocery store! Check them out at Shenley Square, 2716 Mercer Rd. in Neshannock Twp.

And let's not overlook WEINGARTNER FLORIST for putting the lemon topiaries together for me and for making these fabulous centerpieces of hydrangeas and yellow roses. These are not typical looks for them, but they were very willing to think outside the box and make it happen for me. They were lovely...so current. Teleflora actually has been promoting some great looking arrangements that are casual, yet sophisticated that I think will appeal to the pepperberry's customer. You can see them on http://www.weingartners.com/

Party looked awesome-may the dear Lord bless your parents with continuing good health and a long long life!
